I'm trying to find out what it is and see if I can get some to grow here at home.
Sorry for the blurry picture, but I'm still learning how to do close-ups with our new camera. (Which tells you I'm getting older, because we've had the camera for two or three years, and I think of it as new!)

It's a hedge rose of some kind. There's a whole family of rose / apple / hawthornes. It's somewhere in there.
Hi, Carisse! I miss having you here in Memphis! But even from afar, you are sharing your knowledge of this beautiful world with me. Thank you.
Just looking at your tablecloth made me miss you, She!
I found your mystery plant in one of my plant encyclopedias. It is a Mock Orange, genus Philadelphus. The cuttings you took might root!
Ack! If it is really Mock Orange, be very careful. It is also known as Hedge, Bodark, Bois d' Arc, and Horse Apple. It will take over just about any place it grows. Once establishes it requires Herculean effort to dislodge it. It makes great self bows and fence posts, but is murder on woodworking equipment.
